The clips I chose for this week's assignment were specifically selected to depict a certain storyline. I wanted to glorify the ugly side of love. The mashup shifts back and forth between love scenes and violent scenes. Not to say that love is “violent” but more to depict that love is painful. Some of the clips also depict betrayal and denial of affection between lovers. At the end of the short film I have two men traveling on a marry-go-round, (without women) to show that love is a never ending cycle. My very last clip of the mashup was a woman afraid and trying to escape her surroundings. This shows that the woman is afraid of the ugly side of love but cannot escape it. While editing the clips I had to trim, cut, slow down, and speed them up in order to fit perfectly into the songs transitions. I believe I was successful my timing between love scenes and violent scenes could have been time a little better but I could drive myself crazy attempting to perfect the song and timing of the beat switch along with the scene transitions. If I could change one thing about my mashup it would be to have more scenes cut up shorter so I could have a better variety of clips. The most difficult part of this assignment was to figure out what direction I wanted to go with the mashup. I wanted the mashup to be corky but also make sense have a some type of story line. While doing this project I learned how to navigate both soundation and windows movie maker. I also developed a sense of storytelling. I tried multiple storylines and ultimately ended up sticking with my favorite one. This was easily my favorite assignment so far in the class. I will more than likely make another one just for fun with a different song.
